General Roundup project TODO list. Note that some of these are semi-formed
ideas. Those ideas that don't make the cutoff for the next major release are
punted automatically into the subsequent major release TODO.

State   Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pending example: meta/parent bug implementation (feature request #506815)
pending example: replace the "extended" example with a "help desk" one, and
                 rename "classic" to "bug tracker"
pending example: script for retrieval of "mbox" archive of all messages
pending hyperdb: range searching of values (dates in particular)
        - filter specifies {property: (comparison function, value)}
          comparison functions: lt, le, eq, ge, gt. eq and
          [value, value, ...] implies "in"
pending hyperdb: make creator, creation and activity available pre-commit
pending hyperdb: migrate "id" property to be Number type
pending instance: including much simpler upgrade path and the use of
                  non-Python configuration files (ConfigParser)
pending instance: split instance.open() into open() and login()
pending instance: rename to "instance" to "tracker"
pending mailgw: allow commands (feature request #556996)
                like "help", "dump issue123" (would send all info about
                issue123, including a digest of all messages, but probably
                not all files...), "list issue", ...
pending mailgw: Allow multiple email addresses at one gw with different default
                classes and property values (possibly through command-line
                args to the mailgw as invoked in the mail delivery "aliases"
                file) eg:
                  roundup: "|roundup-mailgw /instances/dev"
                  vmbugs: "|roundup-mailgw /instances/dev component=voicemail"
pending project: switch to a Roundup instance for Roundup bug/feature tracking
pending project: have the demo allow anonymous login
pending security: at least an LDAP user database implementation
pending security: authenticate over a secure connection
pending security: use digital signatures in mailgw
pending security: submission protection
pending web: I18N
pending web: Better message summary display (feature request #520244)
pending web: Navigating around the issues (feature request #559149)
pending web: Quick help links next to the property labels giving a
             description of the property. Combine with help for the actual
             form element too, eg. how to use the nosy list edit box.
pending web: clicking on a group header should filter for that type of entry
pending web: re-enable auth by basic http auth
pending web: search "refinement"
             - pre-fill the search page with the current search parameters)
             - add a drop-down with all queries which fills form with selected
               query values
